Day 1: Beijing -- Jiankou – Mutianyu -- Gubeikou (L, D) Meet your guide in central Beijing and hop in an air-conditioned vehicle for a 2.5-hour drive to Jiankou, where you'll begin your 6-mile (10-km) hike along original sections of the Great Wall. As you hike up hill for the first hour, admire sweeping vistas and notice the elaborate stonework and roofs of structures and statues. You’ll also meander through dense jungles and bushes. Jiankou is one of the least-restored sections, whose unique features include a mountain shaped like an arrow, fronted by a collapsed ridge. Throughout your hike, you’ll be provided with water and snacks. At midday, take a rest break to enjoy a picnic lunch, which your guide will provide for you. When you reach Mutianyu, a beautifully restored section which has undergone much construction, drive to Gubeikou for an overnight stay at a local farmer's guesthouse.
